          AN ALLEDGED FORGER. 
  A young man named William H. Doyle, a drug clerk 
here, is in jail on the charge of attempting to pass 
a forged check for $125 on the Norfolk National Bank 
bearing the alledged signature of J. D. Pretlow, of 
Southampton county.  Mr. Pretlow was telegraphed to 
and denied giving such a check.  Doyle is thought to 
be of unsound mind. 


"The Richmond (VA) Dispatch," Aug. 3, 1892 (No. 12), 
   p. 4, col. 1 

The victim is likely identical with Jordan Denson PRETLOW (1832-1905), 
   interred in the PRETLOW family cemetery, "Beechwood" (now "Jerico").
